This first full-length study of the political dynamics of the Ibo people comes in the wake of the tragic Nigerian civil war. The first social scientist concerned with Africa to obtain both primary records of ethnic unions and interviews from their leaders and prominent members, Audrey Smock demonstrates that ethnicity is not a legacy of the precolonial past so much as a response to forces of change induced by colonial rule. She concludes that ethnic unions are a sign of modernization, not backwardness, and that they have enhanced political development rather than disrupted it.
